I think the scenery on the cover is eye-pleasing and brings a sort of serenity. However, I don't think it reflects the book's subject well. I believe most of us connect this type of natural scenery with vacations more than businesses and enterprises.

I can't see the connection between the cover and the topic of the book. The cover has calm colors and the natural scenery is wonderful, but I think it should be more expressive of the book and in different colors.

The cover of the book matches its concept. As, I came across it, I was curious to find out about its context. It definitely portrays the fact that America is a fruitful country.

To me, It perfectly matched with the content of the book. Not only it is very eye soothing with all greens in it, it also looking very classic and connected to historical aspect of the book very beautifully. So I very much liked the cover of the book.

Although the cover is attractive, I didn't think it really depicted anything about the plot, so I didn't really appreciate it for the present book.

I think that the cover of the book is magnificent. It gives the book a serene look that makes whoever wants to read it already calm so that he or she can calm down and start reading, so as to maximize the ideas gotten from the book. I like it.

The cover of this book effectively captures the essence of the book and its key themes.
I think it's creative and well portrayed.

It is great. The green field is a representation of the vast economic opportunities and their thriving possibilities.

At first glance and without having read the book yet, the imagery on the cover does not seem to relate very much to the subject matter of the book. I am interested to see if the cover appears more fitting once I have read the book, but feel that the apparent disconnect between the subject matter and the cover image could deter potential readers from picking up this book.

The cover of the book was actually what brought me to it. The cover is so calm and beautiful. I think whoever took this picture has done a great job.

The picture was what I first noticed in the book. It's a very nice book and the picture was amazing. A great choice of picture for the cover.

I think the cover of the book depicts growth because it shows green areas and green is a colour for growth like trees that grows. The book is about business and entrepreneurship and I think I’m okay with the books cover even though I believe there can be an improvement on it.

Well I didn't take much meaning on the book cover. I think it's just simple and dull representing different meanings in the book .

The cover of the book was impeccably picked. The photo is a powerful representation of the setting of the book. Looking at it at first glance, I know it was going to be a good book. It did not need much because it is not a fantasy or fiction book. It is a good cover photo.

The book does not appear to be about entrepreneurship at first glance. Without reading the title, the visuals suggest historical fiction. It needs a more powerful visual impact to grab the attention of the target audience.
